I stopped self voting when the EIP came, it leveled the playing field and made it more difficult for farmers to take advantage of the system. Recently I started to do a 10% self vote, the same vote I give 100+ authors on a daily basis. I also give a very generous vote, not the minimum amount to get ideal curation rewards.
While I am not opposed to self voting, it's all about how much and what you do with your votes. Clearly someone like rollandthomas it is no longer "self voting" but funneling nearly 100% of his stake back to himself. This is short sighted, selfish, and projects a piss poor image for the largest rewarded user on Leo (and an Official "Curator" at that).
